What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKim Kardashian wore two chainmail dresses to her forty-sixth birthday and swapped one for the other inside the party, the New York Post reports.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwo dresses. One evening.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth are Paco Rabanne, from the autumn and winter nineteen ninety-five haute couture collection. Green came first, then a second one.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe Post calls the second one red. HELLO! calls it burgundy. That's one dress and two colours, and one of them is wrong.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe family dinner was at Baldi, inside the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. There was also a big cake covered in raspberries.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo we have two outlets, two colours and no agreed record of the evening. Somebody should convene a panel.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorShe shared an archival image of a similar Paco Rabanne piece on Instagram Stories, so the inspiration is confirmed. By her.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the only source is also the subject.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorArchive couture from nineteen ninety-five, in a room with a raspberry cake. I know which of those I'm worried about.
